Main things I've noticed: - often recommended as songs I should add to custom playlists - hear them in public pretty frequently They just end up on a bunch of spotify curated playlists I think. As the lesser known picks.

I've noticed there is an interesting class of old semi-obscure songs that have found huge popularity via Spotify's algo. They're mostly: - non-US artists - 30+ years old - easy listening but not pop Kind of cool because these songs/artists were not chart-toppers when they came out. Kind of annoying cuz you hear it at trendy stores and restaurants so much it's almost annoying lol.

more rare more soul. Sly Stone(!!) showing up in a totally different way here. Guitars and violins sound almost ranchera/norteno - vocals are like Elvisish almost. happy friday :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3Grczje5a4

I agree! I’ve loved learning more about her and her process with the release. She’s very thoughtful and playful.

I wonder if US tech hegemony will die because of the egoes of a few dozen bros. Not shocked to see Deepseek generate such an emotional response. "We (big tech/silicon valley) are the best at everything and have an insurmountable edge" Well we just know that can't be true! History proves it.

i think yes - if you limit your consumption of harmful and unhelpful media. its mostly being pushed on you cuz we live in a capitalist attention economy anyways.. and you take the optimistic perspective on what tech will do for the future. required reading imo: https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2023/11/27/techno_optimism.html

it's funny an peak nepo behavior to have north west on all these songs over the last couple years, but also kinda fun to hear excellent artists stretch and meet little kids halfway. https://open.spotify.com/track/5GmXpNIK6yGwTtKBITIqzK?si=d19eaab70c27412b
